The Sultanate of Abadan, in league with Sethesh, demand that a death penalty be introduced for somehting to do with MACs.

The Vertiplex Anti-Apple Act was originally based on the (unofficially created) laws of Greater Crawford, where the (dictatorially imposed) penalty system allows for greater flexibility... We can arbitrarily decide to give someone the death penalty, or torture them, or put them in exile... Anything we want! And since we're an evil dictatorship, we believe in extremely severe punishment just for spite, so we usually sentence Mac owners and users to immediate death. However, the Mac user population in Greater Crawford is near zero because our pervasive police force conducts sting operations to catch people before they can even purchase these "computers" on the streets and immediately torture them for information.
